The Waterfall Quest -
Math Mystery

By McKenzie Fuller

You are a jungle explorer. You know how to read maps, take boats down rivers, and hike through the jungle to discover new places. However, there is one place you have never been able to find: The Secret Waterfall. You know that the waterfall is somewhere in the jungle - but you've never been able to find it. You have learned that there is a sign in front of the waterfall - and on that sign is the name of the waterfall. Nobody in the world knows the name of the waterfall, but you can discover the name.

One day, you receive a secret message. That message has clues. If you follow the clues, you'll be able to find the secret waterfall - and most importantly: Discover the name of the waterfall.

Dear Jungle Explorer,

We need you to find the name of the secret waterfall. We don't remember where the waterfall is, but we have left clues for you to follow. If you follow the clues carefully, you will find the waterfall. Once you get to the waterfall, look for a sign. On the sign you will find the name of the waterfall.

Your mission: Find the name of the secret waterfall.

When you have discovered the name of the waterfall, send it to Mr. Wyborney - and be sure to let Mrs. Huddleston know.

Good luck!
